Not to go too far afield from the original question but this town is different from any other towns with trains because we are  our own little slice or paradise...when you throw your line in the ocean you pull out a plump tasty fish and when you scatter some seeds you grow our own special datil peppers to make a tasty hot datil sauce to brush on your tasty fish...and then throw some oysters and clams on the beach fire grill...we have oceans where you can surf and skim board and Intracoastal where you can Kayak and windsurf  and marshes where you can see pretty pink spoonbills and historic streets and buildings where you can dress like a pirate and drink rum and go argggg....when you can live here NO ONE I repeat NO ONE wants to live by the tracks...so to the original poster I say I would NOT buy anything on the railroad tracks ! 

I clearly stated that in my town the area by the tracks is not desirable and the trains do VIBRATE and shake houses close to the tracks...nothing stupid about that....just trying to inject some humor in my response and here NO ONE would buy or rent on the tracks !!! 

No because the properties here that are near the tracks are not desirable...and it is not just the sound of the horns it is the shaking....I can still remember an old Lucy episode where they are in a a cabin by the tracks and the bed moves across the floor...

Agreed Zach Kidd the mirror is unacceptable in this day and age as are trash cans and trees that block the whole shot of the front of the house ! 

Actually I was looking for a house for me in the $600,00-$800,000 range...I was not looking for a "deal" and from MY COUCH I should be able to see the kitchen and bath and living spaces so at that price range I have every right to criticize  if there are only 3 pictures of the outside as there should be many many pictures of the interior of the house which I hope at that price point is not trashed...

Maybe this is just a phenomenon here in a beach community but I am getting darn tired of clicking on a listing that has 7 pictures and 3 are of the outside of the front of the house...obviously snapped from the agent's car and the remaining are stock photographs of the lighthouse and fort and beach ...I'm not buying the lighthouse and I do not think the fort is for sale...it is so frustrating why can't get they get off their lazy behind and take pictures of the front and back of the house and GASP the interior...even a kitchen and bathroom photo would help...does anyone else have this problem ? 

I so agree....why can't folks take the time to type out what they are saying...screams seminar to me...they just learned what ARV means so they want to post it to prove they know the "lingo" ...to me if you want to take short cuts so much you can't type it out it makes me think you can not pay attention to detail and will take short cuts with a deal... but that is just me...

These signs are new to me but starting to notice them on several properties in my area...are they a good idea ? I have a property coming available soon in a highly desirable area however the house is not quite ready to show. A sign like that would alert potential buyers that the property will be available shortly but I can see that it might be annoying that they can't see it and they might say could they just get a peek before it is listed and the house will not be pristine and staged and they might not see it at it's full potential. I can see both sides. Has anyone had any experience with these signs ? 

Call the listing agent directly

Some of these tales keep getting taller and taller...for example I'm 24 and I have 600 doors and I did it with no money down...or I'm 18 and worth 1.2 million but I don't tell my friends so no one knows...or ...wait for it... I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' real estate deals...  yet I am going to do my first flip and make over $90,000 ...maybe these folks could link to the property appraiser site so we can see the actual numbers...otherwise I say folks are coming on here making bogus claims
